ZillowVERIFIEDSelling our Mission Hills home was a complicated and emotionally significant transition, and Marilyn proved herself to be an exceptional agent and advocate from the very start. The property came with real challenges, including prior time on the market, historic considerations, and the need for careful positioning to protect value. Marilyn stepped in with clarity, confidence, and a concrete plan to reset the sale and move it forward successfully. She took full ownership of the preparation process, coordinating painters, cleaners, stagers, and repair professionals, and securing high quality work at discounted, wholesale pricing. Just as important, she helped us make smart, disciplined decisions about what improvements actually mattered and which ones did not, saving time, money, and unnecessary stress. Marilyns market strategy and execution were outstanding. She repositioned the home effectively, managed showings and feedback closely, and maintained constant communication with us throughout. Despite the prior challenges, she generated strong momentum quickly and secured a highly competitive all cash offer within weeks, something that had not been achieved before her involvement. Her negotiation skills were a defining strength. Marilyn navigated complex issues related to the Mills Act with precision, successfully avoiding unnecessary reductions while still keeping the deal moving forward. When repair requests arose, she guided us toward reasonable, balanced outcomes that protected our interests and preserved goodwill, all while maintaining control of the process. Throughout escrow, Marilyn was steady, responsive, and detail oriented. She anticipated issues before they surfaced, kept timelines on track, and ensured nothing slipped through the cracks. Her experience showed in every interaction, and her calm presence made a demanding process feel manageable. What sets Marilyn apart as a top seller is her judgment, accountability, and genuine commitment to her clients. She treated our home and our goals with care and respect, and she never lost sight of the bigger picture. We are now comfortably settled into our new home, grateful for how smoothly she handled a challenging sale. We would enthusiastically recommend Marilyn to anyone selling a home in San Diego, especially in situations that require experience, strategic thinking, and strong negotiation. She delivers results with integrity and professionalism.
